Saturn 3

By -
After spending some time and searching for it, on and off, for few years, I finally found the name of this movie. I saw it when I was a kid, and I have been wanting to see it again. Its name is Saturn 3.

I don't remember much of the movie, other than it was about a robot, which was build on site, and it end up trying to kill the inhabitants of a space station. I was a kid and I thought it was pretty cool movie. Since I remembered about its existence, few years ago, I have been wanting to find out its name so I can see it again.

This is the trailer of the movie. In my opinion, it makes the movie look kind of goofy, but I like the olg cliches, costumes and animatronics. Sometimes they are better and more entertaining than today's CG.

Now that I know its name I will have to try to find it. I am sure that I will be able to find it on DVD, but if I can't I will have to go to few video rental places that still offer the good old VHS tapes. Maybe one of them might have it.

Format MAC Address [JavaScript]

By -
I am currently working on a project which will allow users to register their Wi-Fi enabled, non-web browser enabled, devices on the network. These are devices like printers, Apple TV, and Xbox*. One of the data points that have to be collected from the user is the device MAC address. The project customer wants that address to be properly formatted when they see it in the support ticket.

We have several options. We can format the address either on the back-end after the form has been submitted. Or we can format it on the front end via a separate text field for each character pair, but that is too many fields to handle. A better solution is to use a single field and format the user input at the time of input or upon submit. In those cases, the former is better because the data will already be formatted when the overall form input is being validation after the user clicks the “Submit” button.

We are going to format the user input as it is being provided, thus having proper data when vali…

Setting up a new site in Coda 2 and cloning a GitHub remote repository is not that big of a deal. Where you will most likely run into problems is when you try to push your changes to the GitHub remote repository. Below I will show you how to update the Git config file in your local repository so you do not run into one of the following errors:
git push failed remote: Remote anonymous access to repository deniedgit push origin master Username: fatal: Could not read passwordThe GitHub repository address I am going to use is that of Source Code DNA: https://github.com/thetitan/sourcecodedna.git. I will assume that you have already setup your Coda 2 site profile and cloned your repository, you have made some changes, and now you are ready to push those changes to your projects GitHub repo.

Format a number as US currency [JavaScript]

By -
A recent project I worked on allowed customers to request cloud computing resources. One of the requirements was to display the cost for each resource amount and the totals for one and two years for the resources the customer was requesting. In the United States, numbers are formatted with a period for the decimal mark and a comma as the thousands separator, e.g. 1,234,567.89.
The function below is going to: Assume that the input is either an unsigned integer or a float, ex. 1234567 or 1234567.90.Insert a "," delimiter every third digit.Optionally, add a currency symbol to the returned string. https://gist.github.com/thetitan/328a68da79f97d1ee27c5509cc91bf56#file-formatcostnumber-js Let’s review: On lines 2 - 4 I defined some default values.On line 6 I defined a closure called formatNumber. The logic in the closure is going to format the number string.Starting at line 28 I am making sure that when the formatCostNumber function is called it does receive a value to format, and that…
